College getting me down.

LegacyUser

Hi there,

Going unreg for this I'm not really sure what answer am I looking for or is there a straightforward solution.I'm a 4th year college student repeating the year I'm nearing my final exams and while that should be my primary concern and worry it's not. I find I have nothing in common with people in my current class.I keep myself to myself as I'm shy although I do try to be helpful to people if they need it.But unfortunately this isn't enough and there is a group of people that's main concern is to make me the butt of every joke.

For example I have a what can be described as a "country accent" they get a great kick out of it and have recently been recorded in class talking to someone without me knowing and it's currently been liked by all my fellow classmates on Facebook.I find when I walk in the room there is people sneering at me and it gets me down.I know people will say it's not all about you and people have their own concerns without worrying about you but it's kind of obvious that they are.I just think to myself "why me what do i do to deserve it" and while it's petty childish stuff and it's probably stupid what they're doing and I should laugh at the stupidity of it all it gets to me.It brings me down I try to be upbeat and optimistic I go to counselling and try to take on board what is said "it says more about them than it does about me".But it's really hard to ignore it when it's so constant.

Anyone have any similar experiences to share is there anything I can do to lessen the impact of it I find it hard at the moment to get to sleep over it or do I just grin and bare it till the end of the year and hope wherever my qualification takes me and hope that there is less immature people there?

You are right it is extremely childish and immature they sound like a bunch of immature twats.
I know it's easier said then done, but just laugh it off and try ignore it. The more they see that it is brothering you the more they will do it. So try not let them see that it is bothering you.

Look at it this way - you are in your last year with only a few months of college left I am presuming, it will fly in.
Try focus on your studies and just keep your head down for the next few months.
After that you won't have to see them again and you can move on and start a life away from immature fools like them.
And no not everyone out there is that immature and childish, I'm actually surprised that you are referring to 4th year college students. they sound like children in a playground.

Fecking hell, you serious? This happening in your class in col? Are your class mates 13 or something?!
Very sorry to hear this- pure immaturity on their part, and while I know its easier said than done with "don't let them bother you" but really don't
Concentrate on your own study, I'm hopin uv friends around you that you can hang out with outside of class.. ?
Class sounds like pack of **** really though
Best of luck

Yes

There are less immature people in the workplace as a general rule, unless after completing his course, sammy can go into a position prepared by Daddy, unlikely but still does happen.
